Fables of a Black Child explores the complexities of identity through the metaphorical journey of a Black child. Each artwork serves as a chapter in a grand narrative exploring themes of constraint, discovery, transcendence, conflict, and harmony. This series offers an introspective look at the intertwined nature of light and darkness within human existence and the constant quest for balance and understanding.

Through symbolism and a tapestry of cultural references, the series portrays African men and women who embody the multifaceted aspects of their heritage—religion culture and tradition. The artworks navigate through various emotional landscapes, showcasing the duality of human nature—the good and the evil, the greed and the kindness. It's a celebration of the strength found in accepting and expressing the full spectrum of human experiences.

"Art is a medium to tell stories. This story is told through the lens of a black child - exploring everything from conflicts with his identity, to the feeling of being bounded while dreaming of heaven. I add images into illustrated environments, to reimagine the images in new forms. It’s all about rethinking art in a Afrocentric way, where black excellence is showed with its tradition." - Domino (Featured Artist)
